What is magic stone chest and where is it?
Magic stone chest is something only vip 11 and higher get

How much money it costs to get to vip 11?
About 500$ (not sure about that one)

So there are heroes that I cant get as a free user?
The vip 11 heroes are exclusive for them for about 2 months and then they are added to shops (crusade/arena/g.arena/guild)

Should I buy gems for the vip? If so how many?
Its up to u to decide, vip is very helpful if u can effort it, if u don’t want to spend a lot of money on the game getting to vip 4 will be enough, it will save a lot of time because u get some raid tickets every day(more then enough) and the raidx10 feature. Best value deal is the monthly card (2 monthly cards will get u to vip 4)

I’m F2P and proud of it! Where do I get gems
When you’re F2P your gems will mainly come from:
Arena Rank (9pm local time daily)
Booty Cave (Digging and Raiding)
Sign in Reward
Occasional Quest completion rewards

What should I do with my gems
If you bought a lot of gems and plan to keep buying them, u should open 10 or maybe 20 gold chests at the start and then use the rest to buy stamina and reset elites
If u don’t plan to buy a lot of gems skip the gold chests and use them only for stamina and elite resets.
At higher levels, gems can also be used to buy gears from Godfather and Goblin Merchant.

I have too much Gold! What do I do with it.
Generally the best way to get rid of excess gold is to spend it all on 10x Bronze Chest openings. Do try to keep about 5 to 7 million on hand so you have enough to upgrade skills/enchant/promote/hire mercenaries.

What gears should I buy?
You should only buy gears for Gems/Arena Coins/Grand Arena Coins/Guild Coins, once you are past level 51 as most low level gears are really easy to obtain.

Generally you should consider to buy gears only when you are past level 70 and only gears/reels from the following list, but of course, only if you see yourself needing them. They are:

How do I hire a hero from my guild?
When entering a fight u will see tabs at the right side of the hero select screen, there is a mercenary tab, enter it and chose any hero

You can hire a Mercenary for the following:
1 Crusade (All 15 stages, if your hero can live that long)
1 Booty Cave Fight (for attacking one single cave, regardless of how many defenders there are)
1 Raid,
1 Campaign (all 3 stages, but you will never get 3* as long as you use Mercenaries)
1 Trial
1 Time Rift

Why are there unavailable heroes in the mercenary camp?
You can only hire heroes at your team lvl or lower lvl, and you can use every hero once, and one hero per fight. You can also only hire one hero from each guildmate once per day. So if you hire my Machinist for a Booty Cave fight, you can’t use any of my other heroes in any other areas.

WTF? I used a guildmate’s hero to complete Crusade 15/15 yesterday and the hero didn’t die. But today I wanted to rent the same hero for something else and I noticed that he’s dead.
Reset Crusade and your problem will be solved

What is Enchanting?
You can enchant items to boost the stat they give. In order to enchant u need to “sacrifice” items to meet the requirement of that specific item.

Q:I want to promote one of my heroes, should I enchant him first?
A:NO! when u promote the basic stats of the items will stack with the stats of your hero but the bonus from enchantment will disappear, you will get some enchanting materials back but not as much as u spent, so its just a waste of gold and items.

Should I enchant all the gears on all my heroes to max?
Before Purple +1, the answer is a firm NO! as your hero will promote relatively quickly. After Purple +1 there is a bigger gap in between promotions so enchant only then, and as always, core heroes get priority. The only exception is if you want to keep a hero at a certain promotion only then you can enchant all the gears.

What items should I use for enchantment?
Assuming you followed the advice given above you should use the following in order of most to least priority

All White gears and reels (keep 20 of each)
All green gears and reels (keep 20 of each)
All Blue gears and reels (keep 20 of each)

Try not to enchant away purple and higher level items, unless you are very high level and know what you are doing.

You get 240 guild coins from ur daily guild raid quests, if u finish the raid in less then 7 days u get a bonus and u also get a bonus depending on ur damage rank on the raid.

A:You need to be in a guild, and also have the normal level stage of the raid level unlocked. For example if my guildmates are doing Raid Chapter 8 but I haven’t completed Chapter 7 in Campaign, I can’t join the raid

How does grand arena work?
G.arena is a 3 team fight, u need 2 wins to get the victory. The most common tactic is to use 2 strong team and to attack the opponent’s 2 weakest teams, that’s because it is hard to keep 15 heroes maxed before lvl 80+

I just got arcane sapper and everybody in the top arena is using him, should I also use him?
Sapper is nice only after lvl 73 and really strong only after 78, if u are lower u shouldn’t use him.
